The Flying Man

Mr. Farman, schirred the sword fight of. XF MILBA from Chalon la Khebus without a stop en October 30, 1908.

Nerve Strain and Exhaustion-

Mr. Henry Farman's marvellous conquest of the air is another of those brilliant triumphs of nerve force and endurance which are made possible by the vitalising potency of Phosferine.

The master minds, the leaders of men, have ever been the foremost to esteem the energising efficacy of Phoslerine, but the very importance-and difficulty of Mr. Farman's historic achievement is the strongest possible proof of the supreme restorative qualities possessed by the greatest of all tonics. Mr. Farman expresses the warmest appreciation for the permanent staying power and resistance which Phosferine imparted to his herve system, enabling him to withstand the severe strain of the un expected risks and hazards of aerial flight.

Mr. Farman puts it on record that the very superabundance of energy imparted by Phosferine makes for exceptional mental and physical alertness, and in his own case, prevents the ill bealth and effects of exposure, which would so greatly increase the risks of his experiments,

Stopped and entirely prevented.

Mr. Henry Farman, the marvellous "Flying Man," 22, Rue Avenue de la Grande Armee, Paris, writes :-"I am pleased to endorse the merits of Phosforine as a nerve tonic of the highest quality. As an aeroplanist my nerve system is continually subjected to the severe strain of unexpected risks and hazards, but I have found Phosferine to be i splendid bulwark against all kinds of exhaustion. Your preparation imparts and stimulates a mental alertness and physical energy which has contributed immensely to the success of my aerial flights. Even the most careful calculations are apt to be upset by the effects of exposure, but in my case Phosferine has completely fortified me against all such evils. At the present time I am in excellent health and spirits, both sleeping and eating well, and this desirable condition is certainly due to Phosferine."-February 17, 1909.

The Opers season has opened with a perfect blaze of brilliance, the audiences being quite sotacular in their interest. For several years Laers have not been so many, radiantly pretty women gathered together as the music seems to draw to Covent Gardon. They all wear their lovellest frooks and most beautiful jewels, till the house fairly scintillates with rays of light trembling in the semi-gloom, Bacon, in his "Advancement of Learning," says:"Is not the delight of the quavering upon a stop in music the same with the playing of light upon the water?" If this be so, perhaps there is some real affluity behind the fashion which ordains that jewels shall be worn at the Oners, for every jewel is a drop of water struck by the sun,
